EXHAUST RUBBER HANGERS

mudinuri · Mar 5, 2019

Recently fitted the Rubber hangers to the two furthest to the rear exhaust hangers and one has failed already. I bought them on the internet but what poor quality. Today I went into my local Motor vehicle parts place and purchased two replacements in Black Rubber not the crappy reddish colour of the others I bought and paid £3.98 for the two. Hope these last longer.
Anyone had any trouble with these Rubber hangers failing so quickly?

Yes. I find that only OE hangers are worth buying. Cheap ones off EBay get it through one MOT, but fail before the next MOT.

Hi,
Yes I"ll have to buy OE hangers next time. I just wonder how long the ones I bought yesterday will last, they are much thicker than the crappy ones I bought on the internet and were really hard to get on. MOT in two weeks time!!!!!

Cheap rubber parts seem to perish within a year.

If you ever visit a scrapyard, never leave without some exhaust hangers, fuses and bleed nipple and tyre valve caps.

A sniff of WD40 or better still, silicone spray will make fitting and removing hangers much easier.

It does, and that now seems to include some ball joint boots, which aren't lasting between MOTs now.

I tried the neoprene hangers but too much vibration and drumming enter the cabin so took them off again!
